As we walk by the Moldex3D booth in hall 13, we will discover advances in injection molding technology. Moldex3D, the leading 3D plastics mold design and analysis software company brings us release R9.0, the newest achievement in injection molding simulation technologies. R9.0 offers new functions and capabilities that enables users to completely evaluate and solve injection molding problems which include viscoelastic residual stress prediction, optical properties prediction, transient cooling analysis, variotherm processes simulation, interface to LS-Dyna, to name a few. The new simulation capability of variotherm processes, for example, models cycling the mold temperature from hot to cold over the course of a molding process. For those eager to be able to model true 3D injection molding processes, will find in Moldex3D’s products a satisfactory solution to their problem.
